Im looking to practice my automotive photography... havent found my ideal location yet, but was looking for owners of unusual cars, modified... exspensive or just unusual or unique to practice on. Anyone know of any car groups locally to meet. Seen the odd supra, skyline, astons etc rolling around etc.

You won't be interested in any of my cars, unless you like the unintentional rat look!

I'm in the south Cheshire area and have a few picies of one of the custom made green Ferrari 456 estates a few years ago at Silverstone. Shame they are not digital otherwise I'd post one.
A great place for car pictures is in the North Yorks moors when the heather is out. Stunning scenery and landscapes, shame about the weather!.

Don't know if these cars are your scene, but we have quite a few Veteran cars in the Crewe Nantwich area. Keep a look out for local hostelries in the Nantwich area most Sundays. Some of them on the linky below.

Hi, I'm in Crewe. I have a 328GTS Ferrari and I have access to some other interesting vehicles. Have you seen the ads for my Festival of Transport on 19th October at the Heritage Centre-you could perhaps come along and do some publicity shots for us!!

Is it just classics Lottie? Where is it publicised and who is invited?

This is the first event I have organised and it is only classics this year. We have advertised it in local press and on Radio Stoke. We also have a huge banner outside the fuel station at Tesco. We are limited on space - in fact I'm quite worried that we won't have enough room!!! Please come along and support us though if you have time. Thanks, Nicky.

Apologies, not been around, spot of manflu and hectic week at work... Simon an Lotus 111R is right up my street...
Mike, tidy looking Jag XKR?, are the decals originals? Not fussed about the car, anything is better than mine smile. Just fancy trying some proper automotive shots as its something ive only had chance to do at trackdays and other shows, and not of a "persons" specific car.
I know on Crewe Business park there a guy with a lupo lowers with little deep dish rims, looks quite tidy for a few shots.

I found a nice little location under the library, its a lit underground/underbuilding car park, and its free parking and open at night.

Lottie: Ill see you tomorrow.

Under the library is a good place. As long as those b****y skate-boarders aren't anywhere nearby.

This is the general look of the car. It looks a bit dullish in colour because Ive been driving it not washing it but it does come up pristine and shiney when done properly.
Ive got a hardtop for it also.
The location would be ok, date wise I work away sometimes during the week so we will have to see.
